The Impact Facility was established with the objective of providing artisanal and small-scale mineral producers access to equipment and capital financing, aiming to facilitate the professionalization of mining enterprises and, consequently, ensure the sustainability of mining communities. As of 2021, we have garnered support from impact investors who firmly believe in the sector's viability and the ongoing services we are currently deploying.

By leveraging investor capital to offer our lease-to-purchase solution, it is imperative that the miners we bring on board, as investees, demonstrate a commitment to fulfilling the necessary repayments. This commitment serves as a crucial element in showcasing the sector's investability to formal financial institutions. To achieve this, we are implementing a rigorous process to identify the right recipients and promote our investments, tailored to the unique complexities of the artisanal mining sector.
